Virtual Universe, Estate No. 116, Yuxiang Mountain Primal Region.

Luo Ao appeared at the manor.

Your Highness!

A group of servants and guards bowed.

"Yes." Luo Ao nodded, and said at the same time, "Request access to the Heavenly Bridge."

"Clear."

The fist-sized virtual assistant ' Abu ' on Luo Ao's shoulder immediately contacted the Virtual Universe's central system to submit a request. Soon, a voice rang in Luo Ao's mind. "Identity confirmed, Luo Ao. You have permanently gained the qualification to enter the Heavenly Bridge. We hope you will strive to reach the end of the Heavenly Bridge. Teleporting now!"

brush!

Luo Ao disappeared directly from the manor.

Virtual Universe, a special dimensional space.

This dimension is a boundless ocean, with its waves crashing.

There is a unique and beautiful island in the ocean. Along the edge of the beautiful island are 52 ports, each of which extends into an endless bridge that stretches all the way to the horizon... as if to connect with the distant sky. These 52 bridges completely cover the entire ocean.

Above the ocean waves, a faint mist lingered, obscuring what lay within. The mist clung to the long bridge, creating a dreamlike and ethereal scene.

Luo Ao suddenly appeared in the square in the center of the island.

" Luo Ao."

" Luo Ao, you're here. This time, you must try to surpass Bolan!"

Around him, there were already more than a dozen young people waiting. Luo Ao recognized some of them, such as the quirky Prince of Manka Star and the calm and composed Rong Jun.

"What, you bet I'm better than Bolan?" Luo Ao knew immediately that Wuka had probably made another bet with someone else.

"Yeah, they all think Bolan is better, but as for me, I think you're better." After saying that, Wuka winked at him and teased him.

"Hey, Wuka, do you know something inside?" The others immediately sensed something was wrong; Wuka had clearly come prepared.

"This Wuka is, after all, Prince of Manka Star. Perhaps he learned some information about Luo Ao from his father beforehand." Luo Feng immediately realized this. If so, then Luo Ao might actually be stronger than Bolan.

However strong others may be, Luo Feng is confident he can catch up.

At this moment, a man dressed in a black Star Robe approached. The man had four ears but no nose, and he smiled, saying, "You must be Luo Ao?"

"Hello, I am Guardian Bafen of the Tongtian Bridge Plane. You may call me the Guardian."

"Greetings, Lord Guardian." Luo Ao bowed respectfully.

"I've long heard that this year's Primal Secret Region has gained a Universe Level genius, but only now have I truly seen your true face." The Guardian Bafen, smiled as he looked at Luo Ao.

"The rules of the Heavenly Bridge are very simple. Each of the 52 Heavenly Bridge corresponds to one of the 52 Chaos Stele. You belong to the Nine Universe Lineage, which corresponds to the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge."

"If you successfully pass the first level, you will gain one opportunity for enlightenment. For each additional level you pass, you will gain another opportunity for enlightenment!" The Guardian Bafen, smiled as he looked at Luo Ao.

"Understood." Luo Ao knew that this Heavenly Bridge was a place that purely tested the depth of your understanding.

How do you prove your strength? Conquer the Heavenly Bridge! The farther you go, the stronger you are!

The ' Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge ' he chose has a full 27 levels. Immortal can usually reach the 10th level, the 15th level is the level of Marquis Level Law Comprehension, and the 18th level is comparable to the King Level, gaining the Alliance's recognition and becoming a permanent resident of Chaos City.

If you can pass through 21 levels, then congratulations, you have become a great being of the ' Universe Country Lord ' level.

The Guardian Bafen, smiled at Luo Ao and said, "Of all the geniuses in your group, you're the only one who hasn't been tested yet."

"When Bolan first crossed the Heavenly Bridge, he passed the first and second levels in one go. Many powerful beings are also paying close attention to how many levels you can pass."

The Guardian Bafen, looked at Luo Ao with anticipation, "I hope you can do well. Go for it!"

brush!

He transformed into Flowing Light and flew directly towards Heavenly Bridge that stretched to the edge of the clouds in the distance. In front of the Heavenly Bridge was a stone tablet with the words " Nine Universes " inscribed on it.

As Luo Ao began to break through the Heavenly Bridge, the Guardian Bafen started sending out mass emails.

"That's why he's called a super genius," muttered the Guardian Bafen. "They all ordered me to notify them as soon as Luo Ao crosses the Heavenly Bridge."

Instantly, dozens of emails were sent out.

In Chaos City, within an ancient mansion that occupies a vast area.

A burly ape-man, clad in golden armor and with golden fur on his face, waved his hand. "You can all get out."

"Yes, teacher."

The dozens of Immortal and World Lord below bowed respectfully before leaving the mansion.

After they all left, the ape-man sat down in a chair.

"I recommended that the kid buy the Drifting Blood Secret Technique and Lian Luo the records left behind by Lian Luo. So far, it seems to be quite effective."

The burly ape-man chuckled and muttered, "But I wonder how much progress Luo Ao has made?"

Given True Yan King's status, he had naturally seen Luo Ao's previous Trial Tower challenge footage. However, at that time, Luo Ao's understanding of the Flame Origin Law was too profound. In terms of mastery of the Space Origin Law, he was actually inferior to Bolan.

" At the Star Level, you can combine the Flame Law and Space Laws so naturally. Let me see your current strength." A terrifying man with two dragon horns and a face covered in crimson dragon scales also received the email. His eyes seemed to be as Profound Mysteries of Scorching Heat as two miniature stars. He was none other than the Flame Dragon King, one of the 18 sect leaders of the Nine Universe Lineage!

In terms of strength, he was second only to True Yan King. However, he also cultivated the 'fire and space' path and, like Luo Ao, belonged to the Virtual Universe Company. Therefore, he believed that he was definitely one of the most suitable candidates to teach Luo Ao and naturally paid close attention to him.

Apart from the two super beings, True Yan King and Flame Dragon King, the consciousnesses of others such as Thousand Illusions King and Jianhuang King instantly entered the " Tongtian Bridge Plane " of the Virtual Universe Network.

Virtual Universe, the Tongtian Bridge Plane.

Two figures appeared simultaneously on the beautiful island; both were super-powerful individuals from the Virtual Universe Company.

" True Yan King, Flame Dragon King."

The Guardian Bafen, bowed respectfully.

Zhen Yan and Flame Dragon nodded simultaneously.

"Haha, so many people." True Yan King laughed as he looked around. A group of powerful Immortal God had already gathered on the island.

" True Yan King, weren't you eyeing Luo Feng? Why are you here again?" Flame Dragon King looked at Zhen Yan with piercing eyes.

True Yan King: " Flame Dragon, don't you know the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish?"

He was naturally very satisfied with Luo Feng; the little guy suited his taste perfectly. However, that didn't mean he wouldn't take on other people.

At this moment, a beautiful woman wearing azure battle armor and with flowing purple hair suddenly appeared. She smiled when she saw him and the Flame Dragon King.

" Long Yu!" True Yan King exclaimed in surprise.

The Flame Dragon King chuckled and said, " Long Yu, you're here too. This Luo Ao isn't from the Genius Battle selection, yet you've come to pay attention."

The young geniuses selected in the Genius Battle are generally expected to become part of the team of the next generation of Universe Venerable who will be in charge of the competition.

Bolan and Luo Feng, from this generation, belong to the Nine Swords Venerable Nine Swords Venerable and have a high chance of becoming his subordinates in the future. As a direct descendant of the Nine Swords Venerable, Long Yu King has naturally been paying close attention to the performance of everyone in this year's Genius Battle selection.

However, Luo Ao came through other channels, so his situation is different from that of Bolan and the others.

"Although he wasn't selected for the Genius Battle, the Venerable One still asked me to keep an eye on him." Long Yu King didn't say much; her presence meant that the Nine Swords Venerable was also paying attention to him.

Following Long Yu King and the other two, one powerful King-level Immortal after another appeared here. Some of them were just there to join in the fun, while others were among the 18 sect leaders of the Nine Universes Sect, wanting to see Luo Ao's performance.

Of course, there are also those like Long Yu who are on the orders of some venerable ones to pay attention to this matter.

Luo Ao's talent is undeniable. Although he hasn't reached the point where Universe Venerable would immediately want to take him as a disciple, the reason why a genius is a genius is that he can do many unexpected things. These venerables have also arranged for their subordinates to keep an eye on him.

Those two Venerables who personally witnessed Luo Ao's passage through the Trial Tower each sent their subordinates to monitor the other's performance.

If the other person has indeed made great progress and shown consistent performance, it is possible for a Venerable One to accept them as a disciple. If it is just a "flash in the pan" and their subsequent performance Pingping, the Venerable Ones will naturally gradually forget about it.

"Alright, let's take a look at his performance first. He just passed through the first level at an extremely fast speed." A blue-armored man with white, flowing hair suddenly spoke up.

"So fast!" The other King Rank were immediately surprised. They had only just arrived, and the other party had already passed the first level?

"Let's just play the footage of him breaking through the Heavenly Bridge." Hearing the request from the group of powerful figures, Bafen nodded.

He then waved his hand, and a huge screen appeared in front of him, displaying an image of Luo Ao standing in front of a massive cloud.

A ball of black liquid flew out from the huge cloud, and the black liquid quickly condensed in mid-air into a mysterious person wearing a black battle suit and a mask. This mysterious person carried a battle sword on his back, was slightly taller than Luo Ao, but still exuded a powerful aura, and was looking at Luo Ao indifferently.

"It's about to begin." The Flame Dragon King's eyes lit up instantly.

Immediately, many Immortal God turned to look at the screen, where Luo Ao was fighting against the mysterious black-clad figure formed from the second layer of clouds.

Luo Ao only needed to strike once to cleave the masked man in black in two, then his entire body was burned to ashes.

With just a single, ordinary sword strike, the Gatekeeper was instantly killed!

"Impressive. His casual sword strike has already surpassed that of Bolan before. The first three levels should be no challenge for him."

"He is indeed much stronger than Bolan. He easily defeated his opponent on the second level before even getting serious. We'll only be able to see his true strength level at least on the fourth level."

These Immortal God watched the screen and offered their commentary.

It now seems that Luo Ao is significantly stronger than Bolan, at least for the time being.
